Ever heard of fade out spray when doing blow ins? rather than leave a tape line.
Full of orange peel as if theres not enough paint on it, no shine to it, bumper hanging off. did u even mop and polish it?

Yeh fair does if its had paint b4 it can be a pain to match up!
I believe 1 side of the bumper came off because of a damaged bracket/clip and i sorted him a new number plate light which was also damaged.
If half the rear door was blended our eyes wouldnt have picked it up! hes happy thats all that matters its just us fussy cunts at our local bodyshop.

i had to blend into a blend mate
it had had loads of bodge in the back arches and hadnt been blown into the rear doors properly
moonstone is a pain for blow ins and to make it right would have ment painting both sides

With out wanting to sound a cunt you have come on this thread, slated Jackos work then when he replied with answer you have agreed and said the owner is happy, if it aint your car why cause greif, or better still paint the cunt yourself,
You are hardly being fair to Jacko

I've got an interesting one, I started the cossie up on Sat in the Garage and an old lady who lives next door but one came over to me. Asked if that was a Cosworth and said she would like me to come look at her late husbands car, she said that it is a Mk1 RS2000 with 12,000 miles on the clock from new.
Apparently he brought it from new and kept it in the garage till he died a few years back.
I will post up when I have been round there, just ain't had time yet.
And you never know these old girls, might be a trap to become a sex slave for her!!
